we condemn as unjust and unmented
his veto Of the dependent pension bill
and declare that it was q plain viola
ton of the nations pledges to its de-
tenders and of the oft repeated prom
ises of the democratic party of the
north made during past political cam
/ pains to secure votes. We demand OF
congress that it pass law demand
ing of the president that he approve
the liberal enactments pensioning SOL
Of the country that helpless widows Of
dead soldiers, regardless or the cause
Of the death, dependent parents and
disabled soldiers shall receive bounty Of
the nation they fought to save and
which they richly deserve.
While favoring all proper legislation
to secure patentees In their just rights
to their inventions, we ask such legis-
lation by congress as will provide that
the holder of patent shall have no
right of action for its infringement
when, knowing that people are limo
without knowledge Of the existence of
a patent, he fails to give notice of his
| claim.
We heartily endorse the ad-
miniStration of Governor Foraker as
wise prudent, firm and economical,
and we do especially endorse and APP
prove his patriotic declaration that no
he is governor, and we further endorse
and approve his prompt action in insti-
tuting restraining measures to prevent
the unlawful order of President Cleve-
land from being carried out.
The frauds, forgerieS and crimes
committed by the democratic party in
Ohio, in the election for state officers
and members of the general assembly in
1885, deserve the condemnation and eX-
ecratiOn of all honorable men, and we
heartily commend and endorse the ac-
ton OF the 67th general assembly in
the prevention of the contamination of
these crimes, and in enacting registra-
ton laws applicable to the great cities
of the state, whereby their repetition
has been rendered impossible. We fur
Their endorse and commend the action
Of the late republican Legislature in the
provisions made by it for the establish
ment of home for disabled soldiers
and sailors, and for the levying of
taxes by the commissioners of the sew
eral counties for the support and MAIN
tenance of INDECENT soldiers and sailors
and their wives and children.
We point with just pride to the
enactment OF the Dow law in fulfill
ment of the promises of the republican
party, and we pledge ourselves to such
farther legislation as may be necessary
to keep abreast with enlightened
public sentiment on this question to
the end that evils resulting from traffic
IN Intoxicating liquors be restrained to
the utmost possible extent in all parts
of the state.
We favor such legislation as will
secure to the agricultural, commercial
and industrial interests of the state
equality without discrimination in
favor Of any citizen or corporation the
benefits Of transportation by all
common carriers at the lowest rates
consistent with justice and that the
waterways of the state should be
maintained and improved so as to
secure to the people the full benefits
thereof.
Recognizing, as the Republicans of |
Ohio always have, the gifted and tried
statesmen of the Republican party,
loyal and unfaltering In their devotion
to the success Of the organization in |
1888 under whatever standard bearer
the Republican National Convention
may select, they have Just pride in |
the record and career of John Sherman
as a member of the Republican party
and as statesman of fidelity, large
experience and great ability. His ca
reer as a statesman began with |
the birth of the Republican |
party. He has grown and devel- |
Oped with the growth of that
organization. His genius and patriot |
ism are stamped upon the records of !
the party and the statutes and Constitu- |
ton of the country, and believing that |
his nomination for the Office of Presi- |
dent would be wise and judicious, we
respectfully present his name to the /
people or the United States as a candi- |
date, and announce our hearty and
cordial support of him for that Office.
The tariff plank was received with |
loud cheers and all received more or |
less applause. When the endorsement |
of Gov, Foraker's administration was |
reached the convention cheered as one |
man, many rising to their feet, and |
swinging their hats etc. The rebel flag |
clause was received with demonstration. |
When the last resolution, the famous
Sherman endorsement was reached the |
cheering broke out and on call from
delegate three cheers were given for
Sherman before the reading could con-
tinue. Its close was marked by loud
cheers. A motion was made to adopt
the whole platform by reclamation
which was done unanimously without
dissenting vote. Cheering followed
and loud calls were made for Sherman.
Sherman did not appear and the COM
mittee on permanent organization read
and adopted a resolution whereby Hon.
John Sherman was made permanent
appointed to conduct Mr.. Sherman to
the chair. The convention was in good
humor, being jubilent over the ex-
tinction of the opposition of the en-
dorSement resolution and cheered
Senator Sherman as he took the plat
form. His speech was listned to with
the closest attention, and was re-
ceived with every demonstration of ap-
plause especially his disclaimer
that the endorsement resolution had
any bidning effect upon the district
conventions next year. He received a
tremenduos round of cheers at the
close.
DIR. Graydon of Cincinnati then took
the platform and nominated Governor
Foraker for his second term in a ten
! minutes speech. There was much
cheering and the motion was carried by
| reclamation, amid whirlwind of
cheers. A committee was appointed to
escort Governor Foraker to the hall and
the nomination for lieutenant governor
was proceeded with.
Hon. Asa Bushnell of Springfield was
named, but declined because of imper-
alive business interests, which would
suffer. Senator Thomas j. Pringle of
| Springfield was then named as a can
didate for the place.
Captain w. G. Lyon of Newark was
also placed in nomination for lieuten-
ant governor.
at this moment Governor Foraker
was escorted to the platform amid
cheers. He accepted the nomination
for governor and made brief speech,
in which he made answer to some
charges against him made by the dem
ocratic platform recently adopted. He
reviewed the financial record of the
last democratic administration and
compared it with the repub-
lican management. to refute
the charge that his administration was
unbusinesslike. He went over a num-
Der of similar topics in Ohio politics,
receiving close attention. While he
was speaking salute of 100 guns was
being fired outside in honor of his NOM
nation.
Captain Lyons was chosen for lieu
tenant governor on the second ballot.
Judge William Spear, of Trumbull
was then nominated for supreme Judge
for the long term by reclamation.
For the short term Judge 4. b.
Dickman, the present incumbent, was
